Bloating the Bandwidth

rapware is what I call it, and its getting worse. It has been a round for a while piggy backing on items you download from shareware and software distribution sites. Usually you have the opportunity to not downloaded them, but now you have to be diligent and deselect options to avoid then being auto installed or tick the no thanks item in very fine print. There is also a good chance these freeloaders might have a malware payroll. They are just simply to be avoided, a waste of time and are annoying.However now a lot of legitimate software come with similar crapware items you probably don.t want. Like adobe sneaking in McAfee anti virus, Java adding Ask and Google bar to your browser or Internet Explorer changing the default search to Bing. Once it was buyer beware, now it is downloader be very careful.
If any software distributers are listening please stop!With special thanks again to Jessica Hische of Daily Drop Cap for the wonderful cheese C start to this post.

Look in the archives

My posts tend to wander around on different topics, you'll find plenty of digital photography discussion, tips and ideas in the archives, just in no particular order!

Whilst I do link to relevant posts within the blog, that is adhoc as well. You can also search for keywords, topics of just free text using the search blog box below. Alternatively you click on any labels, that interest you, in the labels at the bottom of post or in the label cloud below to see other posts with that label.

Try Clicking on Images

Most photos in this blog are set up with a smaller resolution thumbnail, you can click on this smaller image to reveal a larger resolution photo. This lets the blog load faster and avoids a little more bandwidth being wasted.

Company & Product logos will generally take you directly to that companies site.
